I loved this wedding so. The little boys in bow ties and seersucker suits the vintage linen table runners made by Sarah's grandmother. The bouquet was designed to match the vintage linens in whites and pastels with pops of red. University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens in July with everything in full bloom. What an ideal way to get hitched!

fern backed ranunculus boutonnieres were accented with a sprig of seeded eucalyptus, so woodsy!

So happy to create these pink and ivory peony bouquets for Emily and her darling bridesmaids. Also in these bouquets: ivory ranunculus, dusty miller foliage, green and white parrot tulips, pink sweet peas blossoms, and white sweet pea blossoms.

The head table was in the center of the Michigan League Ball room and featured 3 of these 40+ inches tall branch arrangements with flowers at the base including purple roses, pink tulips, pruple sweet peas, dusty miller foliage, and the branches are blooming cherry.

Each centerpiece featured coral peony with bright yellow centers, and KALE!! along with the other flowers form the day, all neatly mounded atop a crystal cake plate for height and elegance. The event was so beautiful thanks to Alison of Viva La Diva Events who did the planning and event design. Check out more from Alison here: Viva La Diva Site

Designed these black and white towering calla arrangements for Kristy and Owen's UMMA (University of Michigan Museum of Art) Reception last Saturday. It was so fun to set up surrounded by great works of art and sexy statues :) I was delighted to meet some of the wonderful staff from Forte Belanger (catering co.) Their enormous team of organized wait staff, chefs, and coordinators were seriously on task! Congratulations Kristy and Owen it was an honor :)

It was such a joy to deliver flowers to Misty Farms for Laura and Matt's wedding this Saturday. My husband and I were married here almost one year ago and I get all sappy every time I design for another couple at Misty Farms. This bouquet is an all time fave of mine featuring a mix of purple and wine mini calla, dahlia, ranunculus, lisianthus, trachillum, sweet peas, and intertwined with curly willow.
